La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française 1902312 déposée le 07 Mars 2019 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence. The present invention claims the priority of French application 1902312 filed on March 07, 2019, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated here by reference.
L’invention a trait au domaine des véhicules automobiles, plus particulièrement à la structure arrière d’un véhicule automobile comprenant un toit ouvrant. The invention relates to the field of motor vehicles, more particularly to the rear structure of a motor vehicle comprising an opening roof.
Technique antérieure Prior art
La structure d’un véhicule automobile comprend deux arcs de pavillon entre lesquels s’étend un pavillon de toit. Mais, lorsque le véhicule comprend un toit ouvrant occupant une partie du pavillon de toit, la structure du véhicule est fragilisée. Il est alors nécessaire de rajouter une traverse arrière, positionnée entre les arcs de pavillon. La traverse arrière est rattachée aux arcs de pavillon par des goussets, et permet de rigidifier la structure du véhicule. The structure of a motor vehicle consists of two roof arches between which extends a roof pavilion. However, when the vehicle includes a sunroof occupying part of the roof roof, the structure of the vehicle is weakened. It is then necessary to add a rear cross member, positioned between the roof arches. The rear cross member is attached to the roof arches by gussets, and makes it possible to stiffen the structure of the vehicle.
Le document de brevet publié FR 3 010 035 A1 divulgue une structure de véhicule automobile avec un pavillon de toit comprenant un toit ouvrant. L’aménagement du toit ouvrant dans le pavillon de toit nécessite la présence d’une traverse avant avec un gousset rattachant ladite traverse à l’arc de pavillon correspondant. Chaque arc de pavillon supporte, en outre, un support de poignée de maintien, intégré au gousset correspondant. Le gousset présente une forme en L, la portion du gousset accueillant le support de poignée étant décalée vers l’arrière de la traverse avant. Le gousset est donc volumineux, complexe à fabriquer et à monter sur le véhicule. The published patent document FR 3 010 035 A1 discloses a motor vehicle structure with a roof roof comprising an opening roof. The installation of the sunroof in the roof roof requires the presence of a front cross member with a gusset connecting said cross member to the corresponding roof arch. Each roof arch supports, in addition, a support handle, integrated in the corresponding gusset. The gusset is L-shaped, with the portion of the gusset housing the handle support being offset rearward from the front crossmember. The gusset is therefore bulky, complex to manufacture and to mount on the vehicle.
Le document de brevet publié WO 2017/174282 A1 divulgue un gousset pour une traverse arrière de véhicule automobile, la traverse arrière étant avantageusement positionnée à proximité des pieds centraux du véhicule. Le gousset supporte également des orifices de fixation pour une poignée de maintien, ces orifices étant décalés vers l’arrière du véhicule, par rapport à la traverse arrière. De plus, la portion du gousset avec les orifices de fixation est généralement horizontale, rendant ainsi la forme générale du gousset complexe et volumineuse. Published patent document WO 2017/174282 A1 discloses a gusset for a rear cross member of a motor vehicle, the rear cross member being advantageously positioned close to the central feet of the vehicle. The gusset also supports fixing holes for a grab handle, these holes being offset towards the rear of the vehicle, relative to the rear cross member. In addition, the portion of the gusset with the fixing holes is generally horizontal, thus making the general shape of the gusset complex and bulky.

Les ajours formés dans la portion supérieure du gousset, destinée à contacter le support latéral du toit ouvrant correspondant, sont avantageux pour réaliser les points de soudure entre le support latéral du toit ouvrant en question et la traverse arrière de pavillon de toit. The measures of the invention are advantageous in that they make it possible to simplify the manufacture and the structure of a gusset comprising a handle support. The size and shape of the gusset incorporating the grab handle support is optimized. In addition, the reception areas of the grab handle, forming the anchoring holes, by virtue of their verticality or almost verticality, participate in the optimization of the gusset shape. The raised character of these zones and the fact that these zones are distant from each other allows a lower portion of the gusset, serving to fix the gusset to the roof arch, to form a notch between these reception zones. . This increases the stability of the attachment to the roof arch while increasing the overall rigidity of the gusset. The sandwich of the sheet metal strip forming the lateral support of the sunroof ensures optimum rigidity. Also the realization of welding points by electrical resistance, on the one hand between the lateral support of the sunroof and the rear roof roof cross member, and on the other hand between said lateral support of the sunroof and the gusset, ensures a fixing simple and efficient. The openings formed in the upper portion of the gusset, intended to contact the lateral support of the corresponding sunroof, are advantageous for producing the welds between the lateral support of the sunroof in question and the rear roof roof cross member.
D’autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront mieux compris à l’aide de la description et des dessins. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description and the drawings.
